A piece of general advice when using rattle cans, hold the can 12-18 inches away from the piece you are painting, this will help avoid the paint pooling and help give you a more even paintjob. It also helps to do brief strafing passes with the paint instead of doing it piece by piece. For "texturing" I like to use the soft side of a dish sponge and dab it in some paint (not a lot of paint) then apply it to the rifle, but you can use many objects to get cool patterns.
Pro tip, if you have a wife who is in to that cricketing cult. You can have her make stencils like these. It’s a win win because it keeps her busy and entertained for a day.
I like to spray a base coat, let it dry, and then put sticky tack on top of the first layer, spray a different color, let it dry, and then repeat the process as you go along. I then top it all off with sponge blotching. It turns out pretty well. It also helps to start your base layer from a lighter tan and then make accents in darker tones.
Has anyone seen A TACs camo? There are no distict borders between colors. Imagine woodland or multicam out of focus or blurry. That is what I go for. Works amazingly well.
I just got some plastic stencils on Amazon and held it over the firearm and it was so easy and I am so pleased with the way it came out. People thought I bought the gun that way. No need to apply stickers
Stencils are great and easy, depending on the pattern you choose. For a quick “field expedient” way, I like to put a base of a few light colors then use 550 cord and wrap the rifle with mesh bag (onion/avocado/laundry bag). Then spray my darks. The cordage looks like sticks or blades of grass when removed. DON’T FOR GET TO COVER OPTICS/LIGHT LENSES.
This is much better than the last company I saw selling these.... They wanted like +$40 and up for a couple 12x12 sheets while depending on the pattern u choose there r $15 for 2-3 sheets
@dustinpribble1546 if done correctly in size and shape i see no difference than what is here or Multicam. When I paint a rifle I go for an A TACs look. No defined edges. All colors just blend into the next color.
I'm adding this as one of my favorite ways to paint a rifle, but the top method for me is still to do a base coat and then mask off for striping of another color and then coming back in and applying the matte paint with a sponge in layers for an extremely uneven almost digital effect. Most effective way I've seen so far of breaking up the silhouette of the rifle other than covering it in scrim.
I paint all my rifles. Looks good. The vinyl stickers will definitely make things easier for my next spray! Last time I made them myself out of painters tape, that sucks to do…
I do the laundry bag as well. I get the ones with smaller openings. Makes a great break up pattern. I just ordered stencils from Amazon to play around with and do some old school camo patterns.
Looks awesome! My first painted M-4 m203 was painted tan with tiger stripes and all I did was cut some claw marks in some cardboard haha. Those stencils are way better.
Interesting combination, i wouldve personally gone for a little more of the original black in it. But i think Im gonna do something like this pattern with mine.
Cool. I'm about to paint my gun, and I have similar colors, one dark green and one light, some grey and brown. To blend in with the grass and rocks here in Tennessee. I might have to get some of those stickers
I did my AeroPrecision AR10 build in Rhodesian camo pattern from Freedom Stencils using Duracoat Badass. It turned out sweeeeet. Was super patient, dried with blower dryer between coats. Has stood up to heavy abuse over 2 long elk hunting expeditions
Multi layers with dif pattern masking i did a pellet gun to test turned out great however vynyl wraped my 10 22 happy with it and easy to change later,just my input.
I use an orange bag netting. I tap nothing off anymore. Zero F's given. I do use a brush or sponge on area's the paint always comes off at. Wood stove paint works good for muzzle devices.
i'm worried that I will get paint inside the gun where I dont want it like on the barrel which might smoke when it gets hot and paint starts burning off? gonna try it on some cheap pmags first.
You've inspired me to paint Michaelangelo's "Creation of Adam" like the roof of the Sistine Chapel on this passed out lot lizard outside this here Buc-ee's.
Montactical has stencil kits as well idk if they are still around or not but I used their MC stencils 4 or 5 years ago and they were great, and yellow ish so they stencils contrast well and are easy to visualize on the gun
I found it looks better with a base coat of matte black. It blends better with the other paint, better than the aluminum black. Also tweezers to take of the stickers
Low pressure spray paint like Montana gold is the best you can get… high pigment quality and concentration really make it way better then your average spray paint brands…
I personally would put a base coat down first and let it get good and cured. Then maybe use the stickers. Black is very rare in nature. You could even use a primer as the base. Make sure to use brake cleaner or some kind of degreaser before painting.
Just a little tip, ALWAYS HAVE EITHER AN OLD MAG OR TAPE OVER YOUR MAGWELL!!!! The bottom of your BCG is exposed and getting paint on there is not advised!
Cool lookin paint job for sure. I've always used a variety of browns, tans, greens and grey in conjunction with a sniper veil, works well and very cost effective.

Cricketing cult?
@@tsoliot5913 cricut...its a vinyl cutter. You can make decals, etc..
Bought one for stencilsm.ise it for everything now
This is genius, it’s bad enough I’ve been sneaking new guns into my safe lol
😂😂😂

Honestly the cone hack is the best part of this video. Lol
The stickers are pretty sweet too.
Sometimes you just have to get creative with the resources you have.
I recommend Rust-oleum's camo line, I've tested it under IR and it is IRR compliant.
Yes! That's what I used and mine turned out great.
All the hater moaning about not painting their safe queens😂
I knew it was coming.
Their tantrums are hilarious.
Some I’d paint others no. Depends if I want style or camo.
I love when they clone an sf rifle but they don’t paint it. Almost all sf dudes paint their shit
Has anyone seen A TACs camo? There are no distict borders between colors. Imagine woodland or multicam out of focus or blurry. That is what I go for. Works amazingly well.
Honestly wasn’t sure how this would come out at first but that is actually a pretty damn good looking paint job.

The traffic cone was smart AF.
Call it a "tactical painting stand" make it FDE and charge $129.99.
How much is your life worth brosef?
This is much better than the last company I saw selling these.... They wanted like +$40 and up for a couple 12x12 sheets while depending on the pattern u choose there r $15 for 2-3 sheets
Want some different shapes? Buy some jigsaw puzzles.
@paultoth7853 what are u talking about? Jigsaw isn't a very good camo
@dustinpribble1546 if done correctly in size and shape i see no difference than what is here or Multicam. When I paint a rifle I go for an A TACs look. No defined edges. All colors just blend into the next color.
"I'm not the most patient person..." Me thinking it before you even admitted it 😉
Everyone calm down. I’m self aware of my current situation.
That came out pretty good. Definitely a step up from the basic mottled brown and green many rattle can jobs end up as.
I always paint my guns upside down so that when i hang in trees by my knees upside down my gun camo is right side up!
Best camo paint job I've seen was done with dawn dish soap
I am with you on the logo preferences. I'm looking at you Crimson Trace....

Nice finish. You can dust it with another color to get it to blend some of the hard edges.
I like the color choices. The pattern is very stencil. It does look good

Yes painters tape is time consuming.
I do the laundry bag as well. I get the ones with smaller openings. Makes a great break up pattern. I just ordered stencils from Amazon to play around with and do some old school camo patterns.
That came out great. The effort definitely paid off. I'm sticking with Gear Aid Camo wrap for now, but I'm gonna hop on the paint train eventually.
Hop on the train anytime. It’s a fun ride.
Looks amazing, thanks for the tutorial!

Those shorts are awesome. Just painted my AR47 jungle tiger stripe
Net curtain material has limitless designs and helps give a great finish.
I thought that was going took terrible! But that is probably the best rattle can job i have seen ! Nice!
😎👌 Excellent job brother. The colors are different and more custom.
I was a little skeptical at 1st but it came out great

The traffic cone is a good idea,i usually hang them up from the ceiling in the garage but then i get paint all over everything.
Looks good. The laundry bag and stickers was a great rip! Thanks
“You don’t even have to be good at painting” 😅 tell that to Reno may.
I love Montana gold spray paint for rifles and their varnish protects the paint well too, I did mine in their sand to imitate hk RAL8000
Use dish soap. That makes excellent tiger stripes
nice intro ben !
Does painting a AR plummet it's retail value?
I guess that depends on the buyer.
@@wisemencompany and the paint job 😂
I really like it! I thought you did a fantastic job
Not sure if I'd use the stickers, but I love the results of the bag.
Looks tight bro! I love it
Those stickers seems awesome I got to try those out
What about cleaning it before you paint?
Never done this, and I'm looking to do it real soon,thanks
Thank you for making the first good camo tutorial
Great video, love the minimalist approach.
Well done sir
I use an orange bag netting. I tap nothing off anymore. Zero F's given. I do use a brush or sponge on area's the paint always comes off at. Wood stove paint works good for muzzle devices.
Like the net bag stencil , thanks for the I fo
That looks clean good work
Great video. Cool product. I still love my laundry basket netting pattern lol
i'm worried that I will get paint inside the gun where I dont want it like on the barrel which might smoke when it gets hot and paint starts burning off?
gonna try it on some cheap pmags first.
You've inspired me to paint Michaelangelo's "Creation of Adam" like the roof of the Sistine Chapel on this passed out lot lizard outside this here Buc-ee's.
In 200 years when they find your work they will put it in a museum.
She'll still be working then lol!😂
Nicely done!
looks awesome!
Looks good I'd like to do my Mossberg 590 someday!
Doooo it!
Awesome job ! Really cool look
Montactical has stencil kits as well idk if they are still around or not but I used their MC stencils 4 or 5 years ago and they were great, and yellow ish so they stencils contrast well and are easy to visualize on the gun
*Freedom Stencils is still around
That’s amazing!!! What a great idea.
Turned out great
Goblin green? Pretty sure that's the same color i used on scale miniature bases years ago!
Yeah who comes up with these names ?🤷🏻♂️
Does the paint make the rifle feel sticky? I would love to paint mine, but I'm afraid that the paint will feel sticky 😕
I found it looks better with a base coat of matte black. It blends better with the other paint, better than the aluminum black. Also tweezers to take of the stickers
Solid advice.
That turned out really cool.
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Veil co not a thing anymore. Where can I find these stickers?
I’ve had good luck with Brownells Alumahyde.
sure a lot of paint??? looks good
Low pressure spray paint like Montana gold is the best you can get… high pigment quality and concentration really make it way better then your average spray paint brands…
Turned out cool!
Just painted my rifle a couple days ago... I wish this popped up in my feed sooner lmao
Cloud Defensive! Great company! 👍🏻🤙🏼🇺🇸
Can't find that can of goblin green. Brand?
Aero lower. Very nice!!
Freedom Stencils is also a great source for stencils, I’m gonna check out veil design though now.
Thank you. I've been doing the typical green, tan and brown with mesh and it looks great, but I'd like to learn new patterns.
Love my wrap for my PVS-14 I got from Veil!
May I ask the brand of your hand guard? And where to order?
American Defense
Thats actually awesome
It looks good after you use it for a while it will look better
Is there a reason people don’t paint the muzzle device? (Aside from the obviousness of painting down the barrel lol)
painting the muzzle device can make suppressor lock up a problem and paint will typically get blown off in the first couple mags anyway.
@@wisemencompany good to know thanks
Have you tried the q-tip method?
No I have not.
What's that cover you had over the foreguard
Hot Pocket. Sold on our website.
@wisemencompany now I'm forsure buying it since it's called Hot Pocket
Where u get the stickers from
Did you watch the video?
Actually, camo is science. 😮
Zach ever gonna restock??
What rail wrap did you have on the one with the eotech? 2:27
Thank you 🙏
Lunar Concepts Hot Pocket sold on our website.
@@wisemencompany thanks! Just found your channel, new subscriber 👍🏻
stencils and stickers for firearm painting has been out for ages
Geez literally everything on your buddy's website is sold out. Do you happen to know what's up? Or anywhere else I can get multicam stencils?
I'm not into rattlecanned guns, but the color scheme is awesome.
I appreciate that you can appreciate.
Sick final reveal 😊
Cool
I personally would put a base coat down first and let it get good and cured. Then maybe use the stickers. Black is very rare in nature. You could even use a primer as the base. Make sure to use brake cleaner or some kind of degreaser before painting.
Just a little tip, ALWAYS HAVE EITHER AN OLD MAG OR TAPE OVER YOUR MAGWELL!!!! The bottom of your BCG is exposed and getting paint on there is not advised!
It should have enough oil that the paint wouldn't stick.. but don't be a Homer and spray right up the magwell and it's fine
My last couple rifles have been painted using stencils. I won't say the company's name. I'll be using viel from here on out.
I forgot to put the magazine back in, but whatever, A little sticky spray paint inside with the guns critical moving parts wont hurt anything.
Still not an issue.
You were a good advertisement for that company cause they are sold out of everything in their site lol
Their shit is still showing sold out as of today!!
Cool lookin paint job for sure. I've always used a variety of browns, tans, greens and grey in conjunction with a sniper veil, works well and very cost effective.
